AUTO REVERSE OPERATION

The auto reverse operation of this unit turns the tape transport over to the reverse of forward direction automatically when the tape reaches its end during recording or playback.

·Because of cassette shell construction, a tape recorded in the forward direction should be played back in the same direction to obtain stable sound reproduction.

·During recording, auto reverse can be activated only from the forward to the reverse direction. For good sound quality and to avoid accidental erasure of previously recorded material, always start recording with the side A of the tape facing out.

CAUTIONS

1.Prevention of Electric Shocks, Fire Hazards and Damage

1)Even when the POWER switch is set to STANDBY, a very small current will flow. To save power and for safety when not using the unit for an extended period of time, disconnect the power cord from the household AC outlet. (for the J ver- sion)

Set the POWER switch to the OFF position when not in use. (for the B version)

2)Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

3)When unplugging from the wall outlet, always grasp and pull the plug, not the power cord.

4)Consult your nearest dealer when damage, disconnection, or contact failure is found with the cord.

5)Do not bend the cord sharply, or pull or twist it.

6)Do not modify the power cord in any manner.

7)Do not remove screws to disassemble the unit and do not touch anything inside the unit.

8)AC power cord (For the J version only)

The AC power cord of this unit has certain one-way direction connections to prevent electric shock. Refer to the illustration for correct connection. (Fig. 1)
